A Kenyan-Sudanese citizen, Athorbey, was forcibly abducted by armed individuals and deported to Juba, according to Amnesty International. The incident occurred on June 10 at around 3:00 am. Athorbey, who holds dual nationality, was taken by masked men and detained at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) before being sent to South Sudan’s capital.
Amnesty International has confirmed the details of the abduction, describing it as a violation of human rights. The organization has called for an investigation into the incident. Athorbey’s fate remains unclear, though he was reportedly removed from Kenya without legal documentation.
The event has raised concerns about the treatment of dual nationals in Kenya. Local authorities have not yet commented on the case. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between Kenya and South Sudan, particularly regarding border security and the movement of individuals.
Sources indicate that Athorbey was a whistleblower, suggesting the incident may be linked to sensitive political or security matters. Further details are expected as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. (eastleighvoice.co.ke)
